Recess Announcements

Please remember that we will be taking the students outside for recess as long as the weather holds out. It is very important to send students with proper winter attire, including a warm coat, hat, gloves, etc. If there is snow on the ground, students must have boots and snow pants to play in the snow during recess times. Thank you!

Kids of Steel

The Kids of STEEL Program challenges children to run 26.2 miles over the course of 18-weeks, culminating with the Toyota of Pittsburgh Kids Marathon 1 Mile Race on April 30th, 2016. The goal is for kids to taste and study different fruits and vegetables at home each week to encourage healthy eating habits along with daily exercise to reach their goal of 26.2 miles or more!
